CCD Camera

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting a market research effort through a Sources Sought notice to identify potential vendors capable of supplying a Spectroscopic CCD Camera that meets specific requirements outlined in an attached statement of requirements. This notice is not a solicitation or request for proposals but serves as a tool to gauge the availability of capable manufacturers, particularly to determine if any small business set-aside opportunities exist under the NAICS code 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. Interested firms of all sizes, including small businesses, are encouraged to submit capability statements detailing their company name, manufacturer information, country of origin, relevant product specifications, delivery timelines, and any additional relevant details. This information will help NIST decide on the appropriate acquisition method and finalize the product specifications. Responses must be submitted electronically by June 12, 2026, with no quotes accepted at this stage. The product must be manufactured in the U.S. or the respondent must clearly identify the country of manufacture. If at least two qualified small businesses are identified, the resulting solicitation may be set aside accordingly. NIST emphasizes that this is a draft notice subject to change, no contract award is guaranteed, and no payment will be made for submitted information. Questions or capability statements should be directed to the Contract Specialist, Lisa Stevens. The performance location is Boulder, Colorado, and the contract will be managed from Gaithersburg, Maryland.
